I've known Leah for years, and from the moment I met her, I knew she was incredibly talented as a photographer. But what's truly remarkable is the growth I've witnessed in her craft over the years. Watching her evolve not only as an artist but also as a business owner has been inspiring in itself. Even though I always knew how skilled Leah was, it took me a long time to build up the courage to book a photoshoot with her. In fact, I let my fears hold me back for two full years before I finally decided to take that step forward. In that time, the idea of what I wanted this shoot to be evolved in ways I hadn't imagined, and to be honest, it wasn't until about a month before the shoot that I even considered doing a boudoir session. But once the thought crossed my mind, I realized Leah would be the only photographer I'd trust to help me capture such an intimate and personal experience. My journey with body love and self-acceptance has been a long and challenging one. Though I've done a lot of healing work over the years, I still carried a lot of fear around this shoot. Leah was incredibly patient with me, holding space for me every step of the way. She never pushed me, but instead gently guided me through the process. We had multiple creative calls to explore what I wanted to express through the photos and what kind of setting would feel right. She was so supportive in helping me make decisions, from choosing a location to narrowing down outfit options. After much thought, we landed on Joshua Tree. And even then, Leah took the time to help me with every detail--recommending outfits, offering advice, and calming my nerves as I worked through the overwhelm of it all. On the day of the shoot, I still felt nervous, but as soon as we got started, my fear melted away. Leah's energy was infectious--she cracked jokes, hyped me up, and helped me tap into a playful, feminine side of myself I hadn't fully embraced. With her light suggestions, I found myself feeling comfortable and confident, forgetting for a moment that I was standing naked in the middle of the desert! When it came time for the photo reveal, I cried. This wasn't just a photoshoot; it was a deeply therapeutic part of my self-love journey. I've never been able to look at photos of myself without fixating on imperfections, but these photos were different. For the first time in my life, I saw myself as a whole, and not just the parts I had always been afraid to fully embrace. I couldn't find a single flaw. All I saw was love for myself, in every picture. It was a moment of pure self-acceptance, and I couldn't help but reflect on how far I've come in my own journey with my body. Something Leah has told me before is how important it is for her to fall in love with her clients during a shoot. She believes that when she can connect with them in this way, she reflects that love back to them through the photos. I saw this in action, firsthand, in the desert. Leah created such a loving, supportive environment that helped me release my fears and embrace my true self. I could see that love reflected back to me in the photos, and it was a beautiful experience I will cherish forever. If you're considering a photoshoot but are letting fear hold you back, I promise this will be a healing, transformative experience. Don't wait as long as I did--I only wish I had taken the leap sooner. read more

Leah Gibson was an absolute joy to work with! I have such trouble with my outward appearance but she made me feel absolutely beautiful. Even during the photo shoot, her energy was amazing and she made me feel so confident. I have never felt that way! Her work is totally awesome and professional. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with her. I felt so comfortable with her every step of the way. Book her ASAP!!!! read more

There's no one like Leah! Not only is she the best photographer behind the camera, and the most attentive to detail during the editing process, but she is a safe space to be during an intimate shoot. She is professional while also being playful and fun! She is understanding and willing to help you break through the blocks that are holding you back, and she hypes you up when you need it the most. The experience that she creates with you when you sign up with her is so much more than just a photo shoot. If you're on the fence, just do it already! I promise you won't regret it, and I know you'll get even more out of it than you originally thought you would. I highly recommend booking your photo shoot with Gibson Goddess!! read more

My photo shoot with Leah at Gibson Goddess was life changing! I had such a beautiful and empowering experience with her throughout the whole journey, from arriving on set to cookies and a beverage and some costuming options (which I wasn't expecting) through the photo shoot to the end when we completed and went over some of the shots we really liked! I experienced such a sense of ease and comfort that is unmatched by any other photo shoot I've been on. I used to do some modeling back in the day and looking back at all my photo experiences, this was definitely the most fulfilling. I had so much fun throughout the whole experience while feeling sexy, beautiful, powerful and confident. Working with Leah was so comfortable and she really goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable and transformational. Seeing my photos afterwards had me recognize the goddess within myself and really see what I look like from her perspective (which is a gift). I highly recommend Gibson Goddess for your photo shoot whether you need headshots, boudoir for yourself or your lover ;), business portraits, or even events! Thank you Leah!! read more

I had a great photoshoot with Leah for the age of our new business. It was a great experience from the beginning when she said oh you don't have to be all suited up just dress as how you normally dress for work, so I did. I felt so comfortable and looked very good. While we were shooting she started cracking jokes and taking pictures which broke the ice and made me feel very comfortable and confident in front of the camera. The shoot flowed so well and she had an eye for all these amazing spots and poses! It was the most enjoyable and easy shoot that I've ever had and the pictures looked amazing. Definitely recommend Leah for your shoot! She'll make you feel so good in front of the camera!!! read more

Gibson Goddess - Photoshoot - Boudoir Photography Near Me

It was so much fun working with Leah. From planning to execution she was professional & so encouraging. Our idea for the shoot went through a few iterations, ultimately landing on a branding shoot. Even as a branding shoot her style & cueing definitely helps to ignite the goddess within ;) (It's in her name after all!). I was so happy to see the work we created with each other, I'm still swooning. She's attentive, patient & so lovely to work with, as you can see it in the work she produces :) read more

Gibson Goddess - Boudoir Photography Near Me

THIS WOMAN IS INCREDIBLE!!! I was so nervous about doing a photoshoot because I have a fear of doing photos in front of others, but I LOVE how comfortable Leah made me feel! She customizes the entire experience from Queen week before the shoot, to during the actual shoot at a location she recommends based on your personality and needs, to helping you review your photos so you can pick out the absolute best ones! So so happy I chose to take the leap and work with Leah, and so excited to do another one with her in the near future read more

I scheduled a photo shoot with Leah, she was very professional and fun. I had no idea how to "model" for pictures and she was so helpful and patient. before I saw the photos I thought my awkward positioning and lack of experience would have the photos to look funky but when I actually saw the pictures I was pleasantly surprised her guide and skills made the photos look AMAZING!!!! through this photoshoot, I learned that I'm too harsh on myself for how I look and looking at these pictures had me fall in love with the person I see in the mirror. Thank you LEAH read more

Gibson Goddess - Boudoir Photography Near Me

I was nervous to get pictures taken in an outdoor mall, as Leah suggested, because I didn't want to be seen, but Leah made the entire experience fun; like a day with a close girlfriend. I purchased the "Boss Babe" special, which I thought would be too much but I'm so glad I did. I had an hour photoshoot and went from nervous to fully expressed in about 10 minutes. Leah has a knack for embracing her own femininity and I was comfortable doing the same under her direction. read more

I've done two photoshoots with Leah, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about both experiences. We first did a branding shoot, but it was so much more than that. This wasn't just showing up on the day of the shoot. This was a journey, from the moment I first considered working with Leah over a year ago to the moment of truth when I scheduled the shoot to the pre-session meetings in which she beautifully guided me through the inner and outer preparation that transformed the woman who showed up to that session. The session itself was incredible, in that she made me feel so comfortable. I really felt like I could just be myself, even though I'd never had photos taken before, and she was so gentle, gracious, and fun the whole time. I loved my photos so much that I booked a family photo shoot, and she worked with me to find the perfect location and consult on outfits, accessories, and anything that would help make the shoot go well. She was SO GOOD with my 4 year old son, who was nonstop running around the entire time. She somehow captured him and our family perfectly even with all his chaos, and by the end of the session, he was in love with her and asking when we would get to see her again. As you can see, her photos are stunning, but her mastery goes far beyond her artistry as a photographer...it includes her gift for recognizing and amplifying the natural beauty in every person, for holding a sacred space where her clients can blossom, not just on the day of the photos, but long before and after that day. I cannot urge you all enough to book a session with her, hire her for your family/maternity/baby/engagement photos, or at least set up a call to see what's possible! read more

Working with Leah was a smooth, professional and so much fun! I nailed the photo shoot I wanted from the aesthetics to the attitude. She really took my entrepreneurial business and elevated my luxury brand to the next level. Before the shoot, I found photographers but none of them gave me that "it" factor. I now relate to myself as the kind of professional that can really make THE results I set out happen! Leah showed me that my vision really was possible and my business expanded with her support! The best part of working with Leah is her passion and easy going way she gently pulls everything you got and more. When I saw my photos I literally screamed out I loud f*ck yeaaaaa!! I didn't feel like I was trying to settle, they were beyond my expectations. When I see my photos I see my greatness and who I true myself up to be each morning- it's fabulous. I am so proud she is taking her talent out on her own. I feel very fortunate I got the opportunity to work with Leah as I know her career is going to sky rocket. read more
